Crysis 2

[AAA]

Now I wanna say that I didn't like the first Crysis. Now this second one at first I was like damn Crysis 1 flashback I was about to give up on it but the eye candy was so good I kept playing and am glad I did. Once the story picks up it gets good and all I have to say is, this game is the shiznt. I might give Crysis 1 another try after I get done with #2. What are you thoughts on Crysis 2?

Looks a lot like the FF8 HUD...

It's a mod, based on the FF10 hud. There's a FF9 version too, as well as a hi-res version of the original.

FF7
How could one forget that game? It's one of the few RPG games I enjoyed

Well, I meant in the sense that they didn't even react, but it seems to be fixed in later patches, and also, this is what I've been doing while away from Quake editing (which I will be coming back to soon) -

A cookie for anyone who guesses what it's from, just from the screens

Yeah, I do like it, I probably would give it an 8.5 if not for the very stupid AI. Somehow, it seems it's one of the few FPSes that has noticeably stupid AI, yet still manages to make them enjoyable to fight.

I will bring Serious Sam to your attention That game has the most basic enemy AI but it's awesome to play.

Figured I'd post this here, as it doesn't really warrant a new thread:
Crytek's Official Modding Portal

They're releasing a Crysis 2 editor over the summer AND a free CryENGINE3 for any user.

yes Crysis and Warhead were both very much open-area approach, and Crysis 2 plays more like a Call of Duty, with a storyline and a "Track" for your ride as Bloodshot said. Still yet, its a fn awesome ride!

Been playing it, got pretty far into the invasion so far. It's not bad, some of the mechanics are cool like climbing and sliding, but I am disappointed. The AI is really piss poor compared to the original, and other games in general. I'm playing Post-Human warrior difficulty and it feels like Normal.

The Aliens also aren't that interesting, I was hoping they improved since the first, but they have even worse AI than the humans you fight. They kind of remind me of mechanical versions of the Skaarj from Unreal.

All in all, Its best feature is the somewhat open areas. Most shooters are linear line rides, and I commend Crytek for circumventing that. However, compared to the original game, this game is like being tied to a roller coaster seat.

IMO, better than most FPS games gameplay wise, but MP is a garbage cod-clone, story isn't all that interesting, game is pretty easy. Hopefully it gets harder but for now I am full of disappoint.

Overall, so far I give it a 7.8 out of 10.

When I play the original and compare it, I am forced to give it a 6.5 out of 10 for the overall genericness of the game compared to the first. The Aliens may have sucked in the first, but at least they looked "alien", unlike every game that has bipedal "aliens" that are just bigger humans with a different design.
